Applied Acoustics Systems has announced the release of Lounge Lizard EP-5, its new electric piano instrument for macOS and Windows.
Modeled after the most sought-after vintage electric pianos, Lounge Lizard EP-5 is a complete solution that delivers the authentic tone, action, and feel of classic instruments. Since its debut in 2002, the award-winning Lounge Lizard has continually evolved—now featuring a dual-engine architecture dedicated to faithfully modeling both tine-based and reed-based pianos.
With a fully redesigned, state-of-the-art physical modeling core, EP-5 offers unmatched realism, warmth, and expressiveness. Instantly explore a curated library of inspiring classic and custom electric piano sounds—each rich in character and ready to play.
For those who want to go deeper, EP-5 provides hands-on access to every aspect of the instrument's behavior. Tweak the hammer, tine or reed, pickup, and damper noise—or sculpt your sound further using the integrated, studio-grade effects rack. Whether you're aiming for vintage authenticity or creating something uniquely your own, Lounge Lizard EP-5 offers unmatched flexibility.
Whether on stage or in the studio, Lounge Lizard EP-5 delivers the expressive sound of vintage electric pianos—beautifully packaged with all the tools you need to shape, play, and perform.
Since its first release over twenty years ago, Lounge Lizard has been a success because it captured the feel, response, and expressiveness of a real musical instrument. It's a perfect example of how authentic and musical physical modeling can be. Building on that for EP-5, we developed dedicated models for both the fork and the reed, allowing us to capture even more of the richness and subtlety in how these different types of instruments respond. We believe the result is an electric piano that's truly fun and satisfying to play.
